Featured Reviews

Burak Karakurt - PeerSpot reviewer
Consultant at TurkOnay Elektronik Para ve Ödeme Hizmetleri A.Ş.
Has fulfilled regulatory requirements through centralized log management
The alerting capabilities in ManageEngine Log360 needed work for creating alarms for the cases where alarms were needed and for prioritizing the alarms for criticality. ManageEngine Log360 uses PostgreSQL as its own database but does not automatically parse and allow creation of alarms the way it does in MS SQL. There is less support in PostgreSQL than in MS SQL. The ability to create alarms based on parsed data in the same way MS SQL does would have been beneficial and would have saved considerable time. On the PostgreSQL side, it was not parsing much, which required a lot of manual work. This support is needed, and I am sure many companies need this support on PostgreSQL. MS SQL features that were missing in ManageEngine Log360 that should be included in the future are those that automatically parse an MS SQL database and provide options for setting alarms. On the PostgreSQL side, this is not the same. At minimum, PostgreSQL support should reach the MS SQL level of features and support that ManageEngine Log360 presents.
Ahmed Naguib - PeerSpot reviewer

Dashboard design excels while prediction algorithms need improvement
Splunk User Behavior Analytics is still an immature product, so it still needs some R&D to be able to be mature in the market. The prediction, algorithms, and ML codes behind Splunk User Behavior Analytics need to be more tuned. The logic needs to be reviewed because it has many false positives. For Splunk User Behavior Analytics, it is not yet a mature product and we are not recommending this to mature customers for now. The machine learning algorithm in Splunk User Behavior Analytics is actually the core thing that needs to be updated because this feeds all the other functions inside it. If the ML functions are not good enough, that means the risk scoring and all other related information will not be correct.
